I miss
@RockBand
. I miss the plastic instruments that I had no good place for in my house. I miss jamming on family game nights. Used sets are so expensive these days, maybe time for a new release? There’s a whole new generation of gamers that haven’t had these experiences.

@RockBand
to either
A) Partner with us to make new peripherals for existing Rock Band titles
and/or
B) Partner with us to make new peripherals AND a new Rock Band
Completely blown away by the community response! We'd LOVE to fulfill a need in an official/licensed way BUT the main point is getting y'all some new peripherals!
Thanks for this coverage
@Acai28
! We got some fans of your content here lol. Hopefully this gets some fresh eyes on the current tweets/convos.

Just some housekeeping:
👍Those of you asking about the Xenon / Xbox 360 controller: still on track, still in the works. Details to come!
👍For the Rock Band / GH peeps, keep shaking the rafters! We've met and talked to a lot of great people so far!
#NewPlasticInstruments
This is actually a lot of great feedback from the GH/RB community! Of course, it'd be great to get
@EpicGames

@RockBand
's attention for a new title...BUT making new peripherals for everyone would be great as well!
Let's keep this conversation going!

A question for 🎸Rock Band, Guitar Hero, Clone Hero, etc. 🎸players out there. What do you want more:
👉 New peripherals + New game
✨OR ✨
👉 New peripherals for existing games?
Great question! Of course we can always make third-party accessories, but we're known for officially partnering with companies like Xbox and HTC to make peripherals, it doesn't hurt to get an official/licensed release out there!
Who else is excited for the

Let's continue to engage in awesome conversations about gaming and what it means to us!
Keeping y'all on your toes. Letting you know this is a project we're taking the time to consider how we can approach it. Great support from guitar game communities, but haven't heard from
@EpicGames
or
@RockBand
.
Do us a favor: shake the rafters and be LOUD as heck on here! 🤟
I (the guy who runs this account lol) am a DDR guy so not familiar with the guitar-game spread on who plays what. How many of you are Rock Band players? Guitar Hero? Clone Hero? Others? Would love to know!
Y'all have a pretty good idea of what music they'd want in a game BUT what artists would you want on peripherals? Artist-licensed guitars would be SICK.
I (as in the guy tweeting) would love

Woke up to even more responses from the community! It's looking like a lot of you aren't able to get a hold of working peripherals, mostly because of scarcity, affordability, and just the overall condition of stuff already on the market. (1/2)
Hyperkin, the company known for making retro-inspired gaming accessories, is making an Xbox 360 controller that can be used on the Xbox Series X|S.
